Shopkeeper said that these apples are all "rock candy hearts" in Xinjiang, weighing 10 Jin per box and about a dozen in 88 yuan. "Now the apples are all frozen, but they are still very sweet!" The boss said.
Why is fruit expensive now?
The off-season of fruit and the disastrous weather caused a reduction in production.
"It is true that fruit is expensive at present." Lu Chaofa, deputy general manager of Hangzhou Fruit Wholesale Market, has his own analysis — — There are two main reasons. First, it is the off-season of fruits, and summer fruits have not been listed on a large scale, so the market supply is a bit green and yellow. At present, the main products on the market are domestic small varieties of fruits, and the quantity is not large; Second, the impact of disastrous weather caused fruit production to decrease.
Take litchi as an example. Last year was a big year, but this year is a small year. The output is small, and the price will definitely be higher. The purchase price of litchi in Hainan is estimated to increase by 10% to 15% compared with the same period last year. At present, the wholesale price in the market is around one catty in 9 yuan. However, from late May to June, with the listing of litchi in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other places, the price will gradually fall back. In other words, if you want to try something fresh now, the price will definitely be high; If you want to eat cheaper litchi, you can wait.
Lu Chaofa also reminded that the taste of litchi is not as good as in previous years because of the rainy weather and less light this year.
Since the end of last year, popular fruits such as apples and pears have also been more expensive than in previous years. "Last year, due to the large-scale spring cold in the north, the output of apples dropped sharply, and the quality was not as good as in previous years. In places like Gansu and Shaanxi in the northwest, the yield of good apples is reduced by 40% to 50% or more, and that of Shandong apples is reduced by about 30%. As a result, the purchase price has risen sharply. " Lu Chaofa said.
The price of bananas began to increase last year, mainly because of the large-scale yellow leaf disease in some producing areas the year before last. In order to control the disease, production was reduced. Last year, the wholesale price of bananas was about a kilo higher than that of 1 yuan. The market this year is similar to last year.
Not all fruits are more expensive than in previous years. This year is a big year for pineapples. In April, the average wholesale price of Hangzhou fruit wholesale market was 5.7 yuan/kg, compared with 6.5 yuan/kg in the same period last year. The price of pineapple is similar to that of last year. At present, the market supply of pineapple and pineapple is coming to an end.
Lu Chaofa said that at present, imported fruits have also entered the off-season. Among kiwifruit imported from New Zealand, yellow kiwifruit is twice as expensive as green kiwifruit. "Green-hearted kiwifruit in New Zealand, the normal wholesale price in the peak season is about one box (36 pieces) in 100 yuan, and now a box from 150 yuan to 170 yuan."
Since the end of this month, Zhejiang local summer fruits such as peaches and bayberry have been listed one after another, and the supply of fruits is expected to improve. Lu Chaofa said that this year is a small year for Yangmei in Zhejiang, and the price will be slightly more expensive than last year. But at least, you don’t have to worry about not being able to afford it. (Reporter Wang Yanping Gao Jiachen Wen/photo)
